Technical Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: mounting a bottom integrated circuit on a bottom substrate having a peripheral thermal via connected to a peripheral thermal interconnect; mounting an inner heat shield, having a top planar portion, over the bottom integrated circuit with the inner heat shield connected to the peripheral thermal via; mounting a top integrated circuit over the inner heat shield; and forming a package encapsulation over the bottom integrated circuit, the inner heat shield, and the top integrated circuit with the top planar portion exposed only at each corners of a package topside of the package encapsulation.
